Modern surveillance systems, focused on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, have ever-increasing capabilities. And the latest New development comes from the new ARGOS-15 system unveiled at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) Expo 2024.
This aerial surveillance system features multispectral sensor technology and is the most advanced currently for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The ARGOS-15 is a 15-inch gimbal system and is intended for use in missions up to 17,000 meters high, both in manned and unmanned aerial platforms.
It has a modular design and Its functions incorporate artificial intelligenceIt is equipped with state-of-the-art multispectral sensors to obtain high-quality images in different lighting conditions.
Its image fusion capabilities combine thermal, daylight and SWIR (shortwave infrared) sensors, which ensures optimal visibility in the most complex environmentsHD images enable detailed aerial video analysis so that infrastructure, troop movements and targets are clearly recognizable, even in adverse weather and light conditions.
Thanks to high-precision sight alignment and retention in adverse conditions, the use of the sight in flight becomes unnecessaryThe ARGOS-15 also incorporates a 4-axis stabilization architecture and a high-precision inertial measurement unit (IMU), delivering stabilization of less than 5 µrad.
At the heart of the ARGOS-15 is an AI-powered object detection, classification and tracking system. Thanks to an integrated GPU, operators can effortlessly detect and track targets with their advanced single shot object classifierreducing workload and improving mission efficiency, while real-time processing enables rapid decision-making.
Equipped with specialized laser sensors, including a designator High power dual wavelength laser and rangefinder for precise intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities.
